IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety is a combination of using common
sense, staying alert, and knowing how your
Wet/Dry Vacuum cleaner (“Vac”) works.
Safety Signal Words
DANGER: Indicates a hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, will result
in death or serious injury.
WARNING: Indicates a hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION: Indicates a hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could
result in minor or moderate injury.
When using your Vac, always follow basic
safety precautions including the following:
WARNING
- To reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, or injury:
Read and understand this manual and
all labels on the Wet/Dry Vac before
operating.
Use only as described in this manual.
Do not leave Vac running while
unattended - you may fail to notice
important signs indicating abnormal
operation such as loss of suction,
debris/liquid exiting exhaust, or
abnormal motor noises. Immediately
stop using Vac if you notice these signs.
!
!
!
!
Do not leave Vac when plugged in.
Unplug from outlet when not in use and
before servicing.
Sparks inside the motor can ignite
flammable vapors or dust. To reduce the
risk of fire or explosion, do not use near
combustible liquids, gases, or dusts,
such as gasoline or other fuels, lighter
fluid, cleaners, oil-based paints, natural
gas, coal dust, magnesium dust, grain
dust, aluminum dust, or gun powder.
Do not vacuum anything that is burning
or smoking, such as cigarettes,
matches, or hot ashes.
Do not vacuum drywall dust, cold
fireplace ash, or other fine dusts with
standard filter. These may pass through
the filter and be exhausted back into the
air. Use a fine dust filter instead.
To reduce the risk of inhaling toxic
vapors, do not vacuum or use near toxic
or hazardous materials.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do
not expose to rain or allow liquid to
enter motor compartment. Store indoors.
Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close
attention is necessary when used by or
near children.
Do not use with a torn filter or without
filter installed except when vacuuming
liquids as described in this manual.

When using as a blower:
- Direct air discharge only at work
area.
- Do not direct air at bystanders.
- Keep children away when blowing.
- Do not use blower for any job except
blowing dirt and debris.
- Do not use as a sprayer.
To reduce the risk of being struck by, or
pulled down by, a rolling Vac, lock the
casters when using on any uneven or
sloped surface.
To reduce the risk of eye injury, wear
safety eyewear. The operation of any
utility Vac or blower can result in foreign
objects being blown into the eyes, which
can result in severe eye damage.
Turn off Vac before unplugging.
To reduce the risk of injury from
accidental starting, unplug power cord
before changing or cleaning filter.
Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To
unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
Do not use with damaged cord, plug or
other parts. If your Vac is not working as
it should, has missing parts, has been
dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or
dropped into water, call customer
service.
Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as
handle, close a door on cord, or pull
cord around sharp edges or corners.
Do not run Vac over cord. Keep cord
away from heated surfaces.
Do not handle plug, switch, or the Vac
with wet hands.
Use only extension cords that are rated
for outdoor use. Extension cords in poor
condition or too small in wire size can
pose fire and shock hazards. To reduce
the risk of these hazards, be sure the
cord is in good condition and that liquid
does not contact the connection. Do not
use an extension cord with conductors
smaller than 16 gauge (AWG) in size.
To reduce power loss, use a 14 gauge
extension cord if 25 to 50 ft. long and
12 gauge for 50 ft. or longer.
This Vac is double-insulated, eliminating
the need for a separate grounding
system. Use only identical replacement
parts. Read the instructions for
Servicing Double-Insulated Wet/Dry
Vacs.
Do not put any object into ventilation
openings. Do not vacuum with any
ventilation openings blocked; keep free
of dust, lint, hair or anything that may
reduce air flow.

parts of body away from openings and
moving parts.
To reduce the risk of falls, use extra
care when cleaning on stairs.
To reduce the risk of back injury or falls,
do not lift a Vac that is heavy with liquid
or debris. Partially empty by scooping
debris or draining liquid.
To reduce the risk of personal injury or
damage to Vac, use only Ridgid
recommended accessories.
Observe the following warnings that
appear on the motor housing of your Vac:
WARNING: For your own safety,
read and understand owners
manual. Do not run unattended.
Do not pick up hot ashes, coals,
toxic, flammable or other hazardous
materials. Do not use around
explosive liquids or vapors.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
electric shock - do not expose to
rain - store indoors.
DOUBLE INSULATED
GROUNDING NOT REQUIRED.
WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY
IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.
!
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of hearing damage,
wear ear protectors when using for
extended time or in a noisy area.
For dusty operations, wear dust mask.
Static shocks are common when the
relative humidity of the air is low.
Vacuuming fine debris with your Vac can
deposit static charge on the hose or
Vac. To reduce the frequency of static
shocks in your home or when using this
Vac, add moisture to the air with a
humidifier.

snap into the socket and the caster
will swivel easily when positioned
correctly.
After you plug the power cord into the
outlet, turn the unit on by pushing the
switch from position "O" to position "l".
The symbols used on the switch actuator
are international "On & Off" symbols.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, or damage to Vac:
Do not leave Vac running while unattended - you may fail to notice important signs
indicating abnormal operation such as loss of suction, debris/liquid exiting the
exhaust, or abnormal motor noises. Immediately stop using Vac if you notice these
signs.
Do not leave Vac plugged in when not in use.
Do not continue running when float has cut off suction.
Sparks inside the motor can ignite airborne flammables. Do not operate Vac near
flammable liquids or in areas with flammable gases, vapors, or explosive/airborne
dust. Flammable liquids, gases, and vapors include: lighter fluid, solvent-type
cleaners, oil-based paints, gasoline, alcohol, and aerosol sprays. Explosive dusts
include: coal, magnesium, aluminum, grain, and gun powder.
Do not vacuum up explosive dusts, flammable liquids, or hot ashes.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or injury:
Do not expose to rain or allow liquid to enter motor compartment. Store indoors.
Do not handle plug, switch, or Vac with wet hands.
Unplug Vac before servicing. If your Vac is not working as it should, has missing
parts, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to
an independent service center or call customer service.
When using an extension cord, use only outdoor-rated cords that are in good
condition. Do not allow the connection to come into contact with liquid.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury from accidental starting,
unplug power cord before emptying
the drum.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
back injury or falls, do not lift a Vac
heavy with liquid or debris. Scoop
or drain enough contents out to
make the Vac light enough to lift
comfortably.
Emptying the Drum
!
!
Operation (continued)
WARNING: Do not operate with
the float removed. It prevents liquid
from entering the impeller and
damaging the motor.
!
Vacuuming Liquids
1. When picking up small amounts of
liquid the filter may be left in place.
2. When picking up large amounts of
liquid we recommend that the filter be
removed. If the filter is not removed, it
will become saturated and misting may
appear in the exhaust.
3. When the liquid in the drum reaches a
predetermined level, the float
mechanism will rise automatically to cut
off air-flow. When this happens, turn off
the Vac, unplug the power cord, and
empty the drum. You will know that the
float has risen because Vac airflow
ceases and the motor noise will become
higher in pitch, due to increased motor
speed.
4. After using the Vac to pick up liquids,
allow the filter to dry to reduce the risk of
mildew and damage to the filter.
IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of
damage to the Vac do not run motor with
float in raised position.
Familiarize yourself with the accessories
included with the Vac. Each accessory may
be used in various ways for vacuuming
and blowing debris. Here is a list of the
accessories and their uses.
Utility Nozzle - General purpose nozzle for
most vacuuming applications.
Wet Nozzle - Used for wet pickup on
smooth surfaces to pick up liquid and dry
the surface in one stroke.
Claw Nozzle - Used for wet or dry
pickup.
Crevice Tool - Use to pick up debris in
hard to reach locations.
Lighted Car Nozzle - Dry pickup nozzle
for car interiors and most upholstery
cleaning is lighted for cleaning in dark
areas.
Dusting Brush - Dry pickup of dust and
dirt debris.
Hose - Provides transfer of vacuum or
blowing capability to work site. Provides
the means of attaching extension wands
and nozzles.
Extension Wands - These handles can
be connected together and provides
additional length for more reach.
Vacuuming Dry Materials
1. The filter must always be in correct
position to reduce the risk of leaks and
possible damage to Vac.
2. Your Wet/Dry Vac comes with the
VF5000 Filter installed. When using
your Vac to pick up very fine dust,
it will be necessary for you to empty
the drum and clean the filter at more
frequent intervals to maintain peak
Vac performance.
NOTE: A dry filter is necessary to pick up
dry material. If you use your Vac to pick
up dust when the filter is wet, the filter will
clog quickly and be very difficult to clean.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
fire or electric shock, do not run Vac
unattended.

After filter is removed, run water through
the filter from a hose or spigot. Take care
that water pressure from the hose is not
strong enough to damage filter.
Allow the filter to dry before reinstalling
and storing the Vac.
Cleaning and Disinfecting the
Wet/Dry Vac
To keep your Wet/Dry Vac looking its
best, clean the outside with a cloth
dampened with warm water and mild
soap.
To clean the drum:
1. Dump debris out.
2. Wash drum thoroughly with warm
water and mild soap.
3. Wipe out with dry cloth.
Before prolonged storage or as needed
(i.e.; after waste water pick up) the drum
should be disinfected.
To disinfect the drum:
1. Pour 1 gallon of water and 1 teaspoon
chlorine bleach into the drum.
2. Let solution stand for 20 minutes,
carefully swishing every few minutes,
making sure to wet all inside surfaces
of the drum.
3. Empty drum after 20 minutes. Rinse
with water until bleach smell is gone.
Allow drum to dry completely before
sealing the motor on the drum.
Casters and Wheels
Should your cart squeak or become hard
to roll, you should place two or three
drops of general purpose oil on each
wheel at the axle. If your casters are
noisy, you may put a drop of oil on the
roller shaft to make them quieter.
Frame and Handles
Your metal handle is painted to prevent
rust, however, liquids and corrosive
debris should be wiped off with a soft
cloth should they come in contact with
the handle.

WARNING
SERVICING OF DOUBLE-INSULATED WET/DRY VAC
In a double-insulated Wet/Dry Vac, two systems of insulation are provided
instead of grounding. No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated
appliance, nor should a means for grounding be added. Servicing a double-
insulated Wet/Dry Vac requires extreme care and knowledge of the system,
and should be done only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts
for a double-insulated Wet/Dry Vac must be identical to the parts they replace.
Your double-insulated Wet/Dry Vac is marked with the words "DOUBLE
INSULATED" and the symbol (square within a square) may also be
marked on the appliance.
To reduce the risk of injury from electrical shock, unplug power cord before
servicing the electrical parts of the Wet/Dry Vac.
